[@thomasley4006]

Barry composed three „Bond in space“ themes: Capsule in Space, this one and Moonraker‘s Space flight. And they’re all wonderful and complement each other perfectly.

[@whyyyyou]

Blofeld as played by Charles Gray is so funny in this film it's hard to hate him. Love his dry Reginald Perrin type English wit as he contemplates new targets. "The satellite is at present over,,,Kansas. Well, if we destroy Kansas the world might not hear about it for years. Perhaps New York,with all that smut and traffic...might give them a chance for a fresh start. Washington D.C. Perfect. Since we have not heard from them,they will hear from us." ;-D!

[@waynewright5023]

The lilting musical score of John Barry elevates yet another Bond film. Gadgetry aside, the musical scores of John Barry and the powerful vocals of Shirley Bassey became a Bond movie signature.. The music from this excerpted scene was just so beautifully lush--like floating on air yet balanced by those majestic powerful horns balanced by that awesome string section..

[@ryanjackson3428]

Best scene of the movie, even if Bond is dressed like some dad chilling at a barbecue.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

I agree with both you. I am shocked we didn't see Connery with long black socks and sandals.
